GENE CERNAN

Last Man on the Moon

by Gene Cernan

and Don Davis

This marvelous book by Gene Cernan covers his entire astronaut career, from his hellish first flight on Gemini 9 to Apollos 10 and 17. Hardcover copies are no longer available from the publisher, but we have some left, so this is your best chance to get a hardcover edition.

Cernan is remarkable in his insight and sensitivity for the normally all-business Apollo commanders. Funny, insightful, and richly anecdotal, this is a very readable book from the man who has spent the most time orbiting or studying the moon from its surface.
